  1. Prompt and non-prompt J/ψ differential cross sections with CMS Luca Martini (Universitàdi Siena & INFN Pisa) on behalf of the CMS collaboration Quarkonium Production Probing QCD at the LHC 19th April 2011, Vienna - Austria

  2. The quarkonium production puzzle • J/ψmesons are produced in 2 ways: • Prompt: • Directly from pp collisions • “Feed-down” from heavier states as χc and ψ’ • Non-promptfromb-hadrondecays • None of the existing theoretical models satisfactorily describes both prompt cross section and polarization measurements at TeVatron • Opportunity at LHC to provide valuable input to understanding of quarkonium production including reach to higher pT region Phys. Rev. Lett. 99 (2007) 132001

  3. The Non-prompt fraction: b J/ψ as2 • Instead, the fixed-order next-to-leading-log (FONLL) approach, with the improved measurements of the b J/ψfragmentation and decay, are in good agreement with CDF data • Non-prompt production can lead directly to the measurement of the b-hadron cross section as3 as3 M . Cacciari et al., JHEP 0404, 068 (2004)

  4. The firstCMS measurements of differential inclusive, prompt and non-prompt J/ψ production cross sections in pp collisions are shown here • through the dimuon decay channel • at the centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV • in the rapidity range |y| < 2.4 • with an integrated luminosity of 314 nb-1 CERN-PH-EP-2010-046

  5. The CMS detector

  6. weight: 12500 t overall diameter: 15 m overall length: 21.6 m The CMS detector CALORIMETERS ECAL Scintillating PbWO4 Crystals HCAL Plastic scintillator Brass SOLENOID B = 3.8 T TRACKER MUON ENDCAPS MUON BARREL Pixels Silicon Strips Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC) Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) Drift Tubes (DT) Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC)

  7. Inner Tracker:Pixel and strips • Pixel: 3 barrel layers + 2 disks each side • Strips: 10-12 barrel and endcaps layers • Excellent pTresolution ≈ 1% (2% at high η, because of the increasing material thickness traversed and the shorter lever arm) • Tracking efficiency > 99% for central muons • Excellent vertex reconstruction and impact parameter resolution

  8. Reconstructed Muons in CMS • Match between muon segments and a silicon track • Large rapidity coverage: |η| < 2.4 • We use muons reconstructed with two methods: using several segments in the muon stations; or using a silicon tracker track matched to a muon segment. The latter method allows access to lower pTmuons • Selections are based on track quantities (number of pixel and strips hits, χ2of the fit, …) for high quality reconstructed muon objects 40 /pb

  9. CMS Muon Triggers and data sample • 2-level trigger: • L1 (100 kHz): Hardware, involving only the muon stations • HLT (250 Hz): Software, adding the tracker information • Data acquired with a double-muon trigger with only L1 requirements, no minimum pT requested, available unprescaled up to 314 nb-1 • Single muon triggers for efficiency measurements • Pile-up negligible

  10. The J/ψ Cross-Section measurements

  11. J/ψ production cross section Nfit= number of reconstructed dimuons in a givenbin A = geometrical and kinematicalacceptance ε = trigger and reconstructionefficiencies L = integrated luminosity ΔpT= transverse momentum bin size Δy = rapiditybinsize

  12. Acceptance • MC based study on detectablemuons:

  13. Effect of the polarization • The J/ψ polarization influences the detector acceptance; 5 different polarization scenarios: • Unpolarized • Collins-Soper (transverse & longitudinal) • Helicity(transverse & longitudinal) • Mainsystematicuncertainties: • kinematicaldistributions(< 3%) • b-hadronfraction(< 3.1%) Acceptance, unpolarized scenario

  14. Efficiencies:The Tag & Probe method • Data-driven study: • Take eventsfrom a resonance, likea J/ψmeson • Tag a wellreconstructedmuon • Probe the secondmuonto test ifitpasses the cut under study CMS MUO-10-002 • Factorizationhypothesistested on MC: • ρreflects the non-factorization(correlationsand finite sizeof the single muonefficiencybins); εvertexis the dimuonvertexefficiency • Mainsystematicuncertainties: • Limitedstatistics(<12%) • Correlations (<8%)

  15. Extracting the number of J/ψ: TheInvariant Mass Fit • Signal = Crystal Ball (for final state radiation) • Background = Exponential • 27000 J/ψ mesons could be reconstructed in 314 /nb, including very low pT events, thanks to the silicon tracker based reconstruction method • Mainsystematicuncertainty: • choiceofsignalshape (<8.8%)

  16. Inclusive Cross Section Results • 3 differentrapiditybins • Inclusive cross section for pT in [6.5, 30], |y| < 2.4:

  17. Non Prompt Fraction:mass and decay length 2d fit • Measurement of the prompt/non-prompt components with a 2D ML fit: invariant mass and “pseudo-proper” decay length: • lJ/y = Lxy∙ mJ/y / pT • Decay length parametrization: • Prompt events: δ-function • Non-prompt events: MC templates • Background events: asymmetric functional pre-fitted in the side bands • All convoluted with a resolution function

  18. Fraction of the J/ψ cross section originating from b-hadron decays • Mainsystematicuncertainties: • Resolution model (0.8 up to 30% for the lowest pTbin in the endcap) • Primary vertex (0.3 up to 60% for the lowest pTbin in the endcap)

  19. Prompt and Non Prompt Results prompt non prompt In 6.5 < pT < 30 GeV/c and |y| < 2.4: • prompt:70.9 ± 2.1 (stat) ± 3.0 (syst) ± 7.8 (lum.) nb • non prompt:26.0 ± 1.4 (stat) ± 1.6 (syst) ± 2.9 (lum.) nb

  20. Conclusions • First measurementof the doubledifferentialJ/ψ production cross section, in the dimuon decay channel, with L = 314 /nb • The inclusive cross sectionhasbeendividedinto • prompt (direct and feed-downdecaysfromheavierstates) • non-prompt(fromb decays) • For the non-prompt case, there is good agreement between data and the FONLL and CASCADE calculations, both in shape and in absolute normalization • The measured prompt J/ψ cross section is not well described by any of the models we have considered • An improved study with the full 2010 data, including the ψ’ cross section measurement, is ongoing. Stay tuned !

  21. Outlook: CMS can resolve the χc1 and χc2 states CMS has observed the χc1 and χc2charmoniummesons through their radiative decay to J/Ψ + γ The photons are reconstructed using the photon conversion reconstruction technique.
